Background ACR introduces and discusses current scientific topics in context recognition (i.e. identifying and describing a situation or state of the environment in the computer) from sensor data, including time series data and image data. Each term, new projects and medical applications are off... Continue

Background It is considered impossible to know the maximum possible learning performance of a machine learning (ML) algorithm on a given dataset before running the algorithm. The performance of an ML algorithm depends on many factors, such as the quality and size of the data, the complexity of t... Continue

Vagus nerve stimulation has emerged as a promising nonpharmacological intervention for a range of medical conditions. Invasive vagus nerve stimulation via implanted stimulators is employed as a noninvasive treatment for drug-resistant epilepsy, congestive heart failure, and major depression. Noninvasive application of electrical stimulation offers advantages such as reduced infection risk and enhanced usability. We aim to investigate the mechanisms underlying non-invasive so-called transcutaneous Vagus Nerve Stimulation (tVNS) and optimize its clinical application using computational modeling. Continue
